Detail: Mercedes C230 *Black* 56k No! Got a hold of my buddies C230, car was in very rough shape. Water spots all over the place, bug/tar on front end and the rear of the car was a mess, these cars have headlight nozzle sprayers to clean the headlights, well when they spray all that soapy water falls onto the back of the car, thus leaving a bunch of HARD water spots.
Took me a long time to detail this car, i wanted to make it perfect.
This is the process i followed
Degrease tires/wheels engine bay/Spray off w/high pressure
Wash car with Meguiars Detailer Shampoo/Sheepskin Mit/Dry
Claybar entire car
Pinnacle Paint Lotion/applied and removed
Orange Cutting Pad w/porter cable applied Menzerna Intensive Polish to the whole car/wiped off
White Cutting Pad w/porter cable applied Menzerna Final Polish II wiped/off
Vacuum interior/Zaino leather on seats, and trim dressing
Polish door jams by hand
Detailed wheels and applied Meguiars Tire Gel
Cleaned Windows
Applied Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax to vehicle ($80 wax) allowed to haze for 30 minutes wiped off with microfibre
Go over whole car with Pinnacle Shine Enhancer w/polish cloth
here are the before pictures
After pics....Check out the reflection shots!

You dont HAVE to let it haze, you could apply and wipe off, i just let it haze for a while as i cleaned the wheels.
I do more than just 1 detail, this week should be a booked schedule. Looking to do 15-20 cars a month.

That's a 07 model isn't it? My mom almost traded her 05 for an 07...but then landed up with a BMW 328i instead. Those cars have some nice paint....nano something...or self curing paint, I know the silver C230 Kompressor my mom used to have never really developed swirl marks, then again, it was silver and I did teach her well! 
But awesome job on the detail...I am so lazy when it comes to detailing my car, but when I do it, it usually takes me 4 days or so.
